With an estimated market of more than 11 billion dollars, NFTs are becoming more and more mainstream and widely used. Many applications are developed around them. However, there are different ways to interact with them, some more complicated than others. In this article, we will explain the different ways to retrieve metadata from an NFT. We will detail the “Web 2” approach by comparing different services offering a programming interface (API) for NFTs on the Ethereum Blockchain. Then, we will present an actual example showing how to use these services with an Android and iOS application.
